Three Minute Dates - Caritas - Saturday night

A sign was posted at the front door:
G.O.B. Bluth Presents:
The Tenth Anniversary Edition of
Three Minute Dates at Caritas

hosted by A Matchmaker Named G.O.B.


Just before 6:00, the lights went dark and a sole zombie walked out onto the stage and sat down at a piano. The zombie then started playing The Final Countdown, followed by the other zombies, all with violins to join in. And then GOB walked out onto the stage, holding and petting a lovebird. He then released the bird, which flew up toward the ceiling before somehow getting stuck in an air duct.

As GOB went into his spiel about how 3MD was a Fandom institution that he started and how he had brought so much love to Fandom with it and that the tenth annual (he still hadn't figured that part out) edition demanded the respect that a piano and not doing magic ("Unless any of the legal ladies out there want to see me make another lovebird appear," and yes, he was talking about his penis).

Meanwhile, the lovebird was still stuck in the air duct. As air rushed past the bird and into the lounge, some strange pheromones released by the bird were thrown back at the stage, where it reacted with the already strange combination of zombie smell and cologne used to hide the zombie smell on such a classy occasion, somehow generating a powerful love potion that would be making its way into the lounge, affecting people at random for three minutes at a time. Bizarrely, that was exactly how long each of the dates tonight would be.

Sometimes Fandom worked in mysterious ways. Mysteriously sexy ways.

"I call your names, you meet up with each other, talk for three minutes, and then you'll hear the sound of a zombie smashing his hands against a bunch of piano keys. Go ahead and do it," GOB said. The zombie started smashing the keys randomly. One of the other zombies joined in because a band was all about teamwork. "And that's how we start!"

[OOC: Lots of OCD coming IS UP. RANDOMLY ASSIGNED LOVE POTION IS MARKED IN THREAD TITLES WITH ONE OF THESE "*" AFTER THE AFFECTED PERSON'S NAME! For example: "Nick* / 3MD Participants" means that I will spend the next three minutes loving everyone who signed up. But not in a dirty way because that would be exhausting and I have a sister among the participants and eww.

Remember that you can also choose to be affected by love potion in any round(s) at your discretion. Also, the love potion can only affect people in the lounge during the dates. People at the bar and on the stage will not be affected. People who are affected will just be incredibly drawn to their date, flirt harder, maybe go for some physical contact more quickly, but they shouldn't necessarily go straight for making out. Unless you choose to have them go for it. The upper limit is player's choice.

As I'm going along, if I made an obvious mistake, like skipping a character completely for a round or posting a pairing twice, feel free to grab me on AIM or in the OOC thread and I'll make a quick fix. And remember, attacks on your dates will get you teleported elsewhere on the island.

Also remember that most playing should happen on Saturday, but if you need to finish a thread or two on Sunday, that's fine.

GO FORTH AND PLAY!]

"Trouble? Me? Lady Atreides, I am hurt that you'd think such a thing of me."

Except his grin suggested otherwise.

"Though I have to admit I'm a little ashamed of myself to have this little event be the first time I've sought out your company recently." It was like he was a bad friend. Or... whatever they were.

"You are hurt that I did not think it of you earlier," she retorted cheerfully. "But I shall allow you to make it up to me, and you may seek out my company when next you come up with some madcap scheme."

"What if I don't have any madcap schemes? May I still ask for the pleasure of your company?" Max missed Ghani's steady presence sometimes.

Okay, more than sometimes. Whatever.

"Of course, dear one," she replied mildly. There was more going on under Max's words than one would think - Ghanima didn't need to be a Truthsayer to know that - but she wouldn't pry horribly in public.

"I'm practically becoming a staid, boring old woman in my suite."

Max choked on a laugh. "You staid and boring? Never!"

He'd never believe something like that of Ghanima. "It's like suggesting I'm chaste and innocent."

"You mean you aren't?" Ghanima regarded Max with faux-dismay. "The Aunties are going to be so thrilled. You don't want to encourage the Aunties."

"I'd rather encourage you," Max teased, glancing at the time. "But it looks like I don't have much time to do that."

Max worked up an impressive little pout.

"I'm rather sure you know where to find me when you do have time," she pointed out. "I'm still at the Arms, keeping roomservice and housekeeping on their toes."

Max grinned as the helpful zombie signaled the end of their three minutes. "Maybe I'll swing by and see if I can help you with that sometime soon..."
